Police have launched an investigation following a daring theft where two cars parked outside a local nursing college were stripped entirely of their wheels.
The incident, which is believed to have taken place between May 15 and May 18, occurred along the roadside near the main entrance of the Kuala Pilah Nursing College.
Parking lacks street light and CCTV
Kuala Pilah District Police Chief, Superintendent Amran bin Mohd Gani (or designated OCPD), confirmed that a report was lodged by one of the victims on May 18.
He noted that the location where the vehicles were parked is secluded, lacks street lighting at night, and is not equipped with closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras.
According to the police, the affected vehicles were a Perodua Bezza and a Perodua Axia SE.
The owner of the Perodua Bezza only discovered the theft at around 7:00 AM on May 18 after being alerted via a WhatsApp message.
All four rim stolen
Upon inspecting the site, investigators found that a nearby black Perodua Axia SE had suffered the exact same fate, with all four tyres and rims completely stolen.
The total losses incurred by both victims are estimated to be around RM2,000. The case is currently being investigated under Section 379A(1) of the Penal Code for vehicle component theft.
